An Intense Brexit Interrogation

Ayhan Zeytinoglu, the chairman of Economic Development Foundation (IKV) which specializes in EU Turkey relations,  commented on the European Parliament report calling to suspend negotiations regarding Turkey’s EU membership bid, highlighting the EP’s “erratic approach” to Turkey. He also discussed the continued difficulties in Brexit negotiations in the House of Commons. According to Zeytinoglu, on March 13, the attention of the entirety of Europe was focused on the votes in these two parliaments. He added that, unlike the decision in the House of Commons which voted against the UK’s exit without EU agreement, the European Parliament’s decision on Turkey was a decidedly negative outcome.
